Dear Mother...

This poem is my Mother's Day present to my mom.

  

Your heartbeat was my lifeline

Before the world knew I existed.

 

Your soul is what molded me

Into the man I strive to be.

 

Your love continues to be

         My guidance when I falter

         My strength when I am down

         My friends when I am alone.

 

Though I miss you with all my heart

I know God must have needed you,

And can’t blame him for that.

 

I still take comfort in our conversations

Through the gentle breezes.

 

I feel unconditional pride

When I see your smile on the sunlight.

 

I await my arrival to heaven

Know you will greet me beyond the gates.

 

Till that time I will…

 

Use freedom to be the man I want to be

 

Use courage to be the men I need to be.

 

Most importantly cherish this life you gave me.

Author's Note

This is such a wonderful hearfelt tribute to your mom. I'm sorry for your lose. From your words she sounds like she was one heck of a women. It is good to remember those who have gone before us, it keeps them from ever really being gone.

awwww Cowboy, This is the ultimate compliment to a Mother. As I am a Mother, I know what I,m talking about, and your Mum will be looking down and saying " That,s MY boy and I love him so". She,ll also be saying "ohhh. and he,s quite talented too, to have written these lovely words for me"
Thank you so much for sharing even although you filled my eyes to the brim.

Very touching write of love, Dale. My mom passed away in 1991 and I still miss her. But, like you, I look forward to our reunion someday.
